THE OWNER SAYS

We have loved living in this home for five years. Located in the centre of Greenwich, tucked away on a quiet street, our outlook is onto Alfege Park. We are south-facing, so light pours into the living room throughout the day. The residents are friendly and caring and the street is made up of a mix of families and young professionals, giving it a genuine community feel.

The area has everything you could need. Greenwich Park is five minutes away on foot and home to the Greenwich Observatory. We have enjoyed many a stroll down the river, taking in the stunning views across London alongside the UNESCO-listed, seafaring setting. Greenwich Market is bustling with a wide range of street food, antiques and crafts. Also the best Brazilian Churros! Cafés are abundant, so you're never too far from a good flat white - our favourite is 15 Grams.

Greenwich has a village feel while being well-connected to the city. There's a Picturehouse Cinema, gym, and yoga studios, while Royal Hill has an independent butcher, fishmonger and florist amongst others. What more could you ask for!

A little further afield, we enjoy visiting Deptford. Fantastic restaurants include Lomond and Marcella, and a short walk under the Thames foot tunnel takes you to the Isle of Dogs, for the peaceful Docks and child-friendly Mudchute Farm.

BRICKWORKS SAYS

Forming part of an eye-catching development that was completed in 2017, this third-floor flat enjoys views over St Alfege Park and is moments from the hustle and bustle of Greenwich.

As soon as you enter, it is clear the building has been designed with care, attention and practicality in mind. Wider walkways within each flat bring a sense of space, and there are various storage options––often overlooked––dotted throughout; from a designated laundry room to a cavernous cupboard in the hallway, big enough to store all your worldly goods. Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles; the larger of the two comes with an ensuite shower room.

The open-plan living room might be the best area of all. With a bank of south-facing windows, light spills through glass and trellis metalwork, while a clever layout naturally divides the room into zones. The kitchen is all clean lines and is large enough for a proper dining table; the living area feels calm and relaxed, looking out onto the balcony. Here, natural tones give it an enclosed feel and beautifully frame the treetops of Alfege Park below. It merges indoors and out, providing an all-year-round space to welcome the day with your morning coffee.

Cyrius House is situated moments from the epicentre of Greenwich. Steeped in maritime history, it is the home of the Cutty Sark and the Naval Museum. Despite being world-renowned, Greenwich has a distinct village feel, with its covered market and array of independent shops. With city-wide views from the top of Greenwich Park as well as the Thames on your doorstep, it's a wonderful spot to soak up the rest of the capital.
